Why do people never mention GT5P when talking about best graphics?

I personally think its the best looking game out there right now..

But im a little biased since im a car person

its a racing game, that can only be compared to other racing games

shooters/action adventures games are very different and can't be compared

Because if you can make a racing game look the best by leaving out damage and features then why not make one thats turn based has no moving images at all, make it look incredible and claim you have accomplished something.Riverwolf007

I know you guys are saying stuff like its a demo and its not that challenging to make but its still one of the best looking games

After all its what the game LOOKS like that counts right? What do i care if it was really challenging or technically impressive?

it's a demo?VideoGameGuy

Its also a Demo.

Full game should not be compared to demos.

Still can't believe Gran Turismo 5 got away with charging for a demo, other companies need to try this and see how it goes. Instant money.

Are you kidding?

It should have been called "Halo 3 Beta featuring Crackdown".

Because car games are too easy to polish without any framerate issues simply because its a few cars, a road, and paper environments.krp008

1. its not.

2. people actaully forgot this game since it takes forever to make.

3. by the time when it releases, next xbox may already came out so the wii2, and people will literaly put this game in the history.

sigh...I used to be a big fan of GT series

What are you going to compare it to?

A character model has hair, fur, shadows, diferent skin tones and various animations that require a lot more hardware resources. You can't compare that to a car model which is mostly comprised of metal - one of the easiest textures to display.

The only thing we can say about GT5p is how is looks compared to other racers like FM2 - and theres been more than enough discussions about it.

Everyone knows that the game is a DEMO.. unless you're a cow. And that is why it doesn't count.xsubtownerx

it is more than a demo but not quite a full game you don't have to be a cow to know that.

FM2 is a two year old game...Of course GT5P will look better...Look how much better R2 looks over R1..I tired to play R1 last night after consistently playing R2...and the age was just as apparent..

A great comparison will be FM3 and GT

Racing games are much less graphically challenging, especially due to lack of soft surfaces like hair, fur, and cloth. That makes it less impressive to see, at least, IMO.SpruceCaboose

Because the graphics are only really great during non-gameplay moments like watching a replay or in the menu. This isn't a knock against GT specifically. Burnout looks really great while you're driving it, but its like racing sims have so much math and physics going on that the actual in game driving never really looks as good as you'd hope.Senor_Kami

That's a good way to put it...

I would like to add that SIMS do not rely heavy on Grafx for immersion .....But from game play mechanics.....Look at any of the proper computer SIMS and they are all very "weak" in the grafx department...I don't believe that the developers are not talented enough to produce stunning visuals.... But..... it more boils down to a waste of resources and development cost...

This can be quantified by the gameplay itself....Meaning when you are turning laps and you are focused on your line.... the competitors line....your proper tactics to pass...the apex....consequences etc...This is where the immersion comes from....The last thing you are looking/ focusing on is how many Polys the car has in front of you....
